Clay Court Statistics Overview
Luis Bruguera has found clay courts difficult, recording 1–12 across 13 matches (7.7%). The numbers point to a surface that has not consistently suited the game — a key area of opportunity on the calendar.
By format on clay — best-of-five: 0–4 (0.0%); best-of-three: 1–8 (11.1%). Markedly stronger in three-set formats; the win rate drops noticeably in five-setters, which has direct implications for Grand Slam performance on clay.
Best season: 1971 — 1–4 (20.0%) from 5 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the clay record continues to develop.
